Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Almond vs. Shaw — 4/1/12

It was a busy day of fisticuffs in the NHL yesterday, as a brawl between players and coaches unfolded during a game between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins, while the other five games on Sunday’s schedule helped contribute an additional six fights to the day’s total. And while the Pens and Flyers clearly provided the most entertainment on the day, it was Cody Almond of the Minnesota Wild and Andrew Shaw of the Chicago Blackhawks that provided us with the best fight.

This game between the Wild and the Hawks would produce a total of three fights, but it was Shaw and Almond who stole the show, as they each earn a spot on the “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight of the Night” for Sunday, April 1, 2012.
